 Adding to Isostatic Depression 

Examples

Hudson Bay, Canada

10,000 to 12,000 years ago the Laurentide Ice Sheet covered and depressed most of Canada and Northern parts of the United States, it had then receded and melted, the last resting point was located in Hudson Bay. Glacial striations seen on the Ottawa Islands deviate towards the centre of the Hudson Bay which occured during deglaciation. The centre of the ice sheet dome would have been approximately 2,800 m thick nearly 9,000 years ago.
